graduating from that institution with the
class of 1863. He then entered the harvard
law school and was admitted to the bar in
1865, and subsequently became one OF the.
firm of Hart, Hale, Schwartz e Fairchlldp
one of the most successful legal combina-
tions in New York. In 1874 he was ap-
pointed Deputy Attorney General and
in his first political position he so distin-
guished himself that in the ensuing
year he was nominated by the Dem
ccratic party for the Attorney GenePalships
and was elected. He served in this capaci-
ty for two years-and they were eventful
ones for the people OF New York-becausSe
the canal ring was receiving the attention
of Governor. Tilden, and his Attorney
General cordially seconded his efforts to-
rid the State of them and their methods.
Upon the expiration of his t0rm as AT
torney- General Mr.. Fairchild, in 1878 Visited
Europe for the second time, his first trip
having occurred in 1871. While on the con-
tinent the future Secretary made a careful
study of the monetary systems of the old
world, and when ne returned to New York
he had gained valuable fund Of informa-
ton. From 1850, when he returned from
Europe, up to the time he was called to-
Washington as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Mr.. Fairchild was practlcing his
profession in New York City. Tho
new secretary is a very straiGhtfor-
ward man of business, easy of ac-
cess, for it has been his boast since
he came to Washington that his door has
always been open to callers, no matter
what their business, and IN this respect he
has shown a marked difference from other
officials of the new administration. His
face is round and smoothly shaver, a
closely clipped black mustache being con-
spicuous above the firm mouth, while in
stature he is slightly above the medium
height, compactly built and weighs about
$50 pounds He is a firm believer in the
efficiency of equestrian exercise, and every
evening at the close of business mounts his
smart bay roadster and rides at a canter-
through the suburbs an appetizer for
dinner Socially he and his wife are very
popular and his hospitable mansion has al
ways been thronged during the gay season.
Mr.. Maynard is the present Second Comp
troller of the Treasury, having been APP
pointed to that position by President Cleve-
land on June l, 1855. He made an excellent
record.

LINCOLN. Neb., March 3O.-The following
cablegram was received by Hon. John Fitz-
gerald yesterday and the following reply
sent to Mr.. Parnell.
10 Hon. John Fitzgerald, Lincoln, Ne5.:
HOUSE OF COMMONS, LONDON, March o.
The Coercion bill proposed tonight in the
House of Commons is the eighty-Seventh since
the act of union eighty-seven years ago. 1t also
rs the most stringent, tyrannical and uncalled
for by the state of affairs in Ireland. Never be-
fore has Il Coercion bill been proposed when
crime was SO rapidly decreasing as compared
with previous years. The measure is aimed
against all open agitation and appears TO be eX-
pressly designed for driving discomfort beneath
the surface. 1t places all public speakers writ
ers and conductors OF newspapers absolutely at
the mercy of stipendiary magistrates, hold
ing their Office at the pleasure of the
crown. 1t condemns the IRISH speaking peas
ant OF rack-rented Kerry to the tender mercies
OF & packed jury OF Orangemen or landlords, or
to q jury of Englishmen at the Old Bailey in
London. The Liberal party, headed by Glad
stone, stands as one man against this iniQuitous
measure, and will fight shoulder to shoulder
with US in opposing il to the bitter last. 1t
seems impossible 10 believe that even the pres
ent House of Commons will continue to follow
the Tory Government IN their mad course. and
good judges consider the measure will break
and ruin the Cabinet. We must, however, pre-
pare LOT Inc worst: ana ccnnGenIly appeal 10
the American people for that sympathy and
support which they have never withheld from
people struggling for liberty. PARNEIL.

Commons, LOHd0n:
LINCOLN. Neb, March 29-Cable received.
League will double its efforts. Ireland is sure
OF American sympathy and support in the
coming crisis. The Nebraska Legislature to-
day. by unanimous vote, passed resolutions
of sympathy with Ireland and condemniEg the
Tory policy of coercion. This and similar man.
nestations throughout this free country give
the lie to the ISLANDERS of the English press that
true Americans do not sympathiZe with Ireland
This great lfberty-loVing people of the United
States are entirely in sympathy with Ireland's
struggle for home rule.

Few people in the West and scarcely any
In New York, says the Graphic, ever know
that Colonel Cody was married man, and
fewer still, even at this day, know any
thing about the pretty lady who is his wife.
She was charming young widow, the
relict OF Colonel wbiteley of Kentucky,
handsome, bright woman, who after her
husbands death found employment in the
Treasury Department at Washington, and
was holding one Of the best-paying places
OF any woman In the Department when
Colonel Cody met her and wooed and won
ber. The dashing frontIersman was n great
favorite during his occasional visits to
the Capital, and Mrs. Whiteley was
generally congratulated on the matrl-
monial prize she had won. She gave up
her place in the Department, and the
wedding was celebrated In Denver, Col,
with good deal OF showiness and Western
pomp. Mrs. Cody, before her marriage,
bad been very popular figure in general
Washington society, but she never returned
there even for visit, and her friends have
supposed 'she was living quietly In the
Wet or accompanying her husband on his
travelling tours. The news OF her appllc,-
tion for divorce Will be a painful surprise
to many in Washington, who remember the
beautiful young widow who enthralled so
many by her pleasant manners.

ON NANCY nTITCHING.

Never painters fairest fancy,
Can compare with my sweet Nancy,
For she is a perfect picture
OF q perfect womanhood
Though che Is not blessed with riches,
And must earn her bread by stitches,
She Is better than her betters,
For her heart Is pure and good.
When sometimes watch her stitching,
Every stitch my heart bewitching,
exclaim in hasty language
At tho sad mistakes III life;
But she laughs so quick and jolly,
As she puts to fight my folly
BY psking II wish to have
A duchess for wife.
Then say with love that fingers
Near the stitches by her fingers,
That II had Aladdln's lamp
A duchess she should be.
And she answers, archly smiling,
In manner most hepuillng,
That II she were duchess
She would never marry me.
SO, perhaps, II may be better
After all TO wear the fettcr
OF poverty that's honest
Than be titled, proud and rich;
For before the moon is changing,
By mutual arranging
King Cupid will our threads OF lie
Unite In one strong stitch.
